Where can I get AIM shackles for the best price? and what's involved in instalation?

 

try autobahn
they advertise in street truck, trucking, sport truck, etc....

 

EvilGuy,
I purchased them directly from AIM. I think they cost me about $38 for the pair.

Installation is pretty simple. You support the vehicle (not the rear axle). Adjust your hydraulic jack till you have the neutral point on the rear shackle. Loosen one of the nuts on the rear shackle and then adjust the hydraulic jack until you can feel no weight on the bolt. Remove the bolt and then do the same for the other bolt. Install the new shackle with one bolt. Then lower the jack until the other bolt hole lines up, install bolt tighten both nuts and repeat for the other side. Make sure to use jack stands under the frame rail in case your lower the jack too quickly and you can remain safe.

 

someone just told me that the 01s are a bit lower than the 99/00s. Is this true? if so will I need the shackles?

 

No/Yes
